LTL Trucking Jobs

LTL stands for less than truckload. Ltl trucking jobs often have multiple stops for unloading.  It most often is inside city limits or near a metro area.

Often the LTL trucking jobs start early in the morning and you might finish when stops are done or when the last business closes for the day.

As you might guess LTL jobs can be more busy type work.  Jumping in and out the truck and maybe even using a pallet jack to get off your stops.  Different LTL trucking companies or division operate differently.

LTL Drivers get paid pretty well but the pay can vary greatly because the way a LTL carrier operates and compensates vary. Some pay by the mile and by the stop.  The local trucking jobs might pay most by the hour and sometimes the stops.

There are also some regional LTL jobs.

There is a lot of specialization within the LTL freight trucking arena. For instance lift gate service or residential service.

A lot of your local trucking jobs will be LTL trucking jobs too.
